Getting the job done and doing the job right are two totally different things.
There are some people out there who do the bare minimum at work and call it a day. As long as the boxes get checked and the time flies by, that's good enough.
Then, there are the people who will almost literally jump through hoops to give the customer the very best — and sometime those hoops are engulfed in flames and hanging above a pool of sharks.
These 10 folks really set the bar high for every other employee out there, because they went far above and beyond the call of duty.
Whether they fulfilled a ridiculous special request on a takeout order, or saved a tiny kitten's life, they still made a positive impact on someone's day.
